Boston said that they would release decisions each Friday (or following Monday)

I'm guessing because Monday was a federal holiday for MLK day that they sent it out on Tuesday. Just going based off what the admission director told me :)

But people began hearing back as early as Jan 22nd from what I saw. I think as long as the priority deadline was met we have to hear in the next couple of weeks.

true.. I submitted mine in November, but WES took ages to process my transcripts and after I literally emailed and called them so many times the processed it, and my application went under review on 12/13. So I a not sure if I count as having met the priority deadline or not.
 
Any idea when the next set of JHU full time mph decisions will be out? I saw that some got in last week but no news since then.

For Yale, I got an application received email on 12/23 (even though i submitted on 12/1 and was verified on 12/17). On 1/21 I got an "Application Complete" email saying that I've formally gone into review. For people who were accepted, does anyone know roughly what the turnaround time is from the application complete email is?

If the school didn't tell you about a scholarship in the offer email/letter does this mean you are not going to be offered something? I applied to mostly MHA/MPH Healthcare Management programs. i'm not sure how common scholarship/aid is with these tracks.. any ideas?
Click to expand...
Usually you get a separate email a few days after getting accepted. Brown did tell me that they will give me some money but it was the only school that said this in the acceptance letter. I applied to the same department/track and got scholarships from most of my top programs. As far as I know GW will look at your GPA when considering how much you will be awarded but that’s probably not the only criterion

When the doctorate committee met on 1/10, we heard back on 1/14! I assume it will be a similar waiting period for MPH applicants.

I submitted on 11/30 and got verified 12/3. So I’m wondering the same thing... On their website they say however that the application has to be submitted by the deadline and they don’t say anything about verification.
Emailed them about this, this morning. Will keep you posted.

same, I submitted on 11/11 and only went under review on 12/13
 
As long as you submit the sophas application on time by the priority deadline, it is considered priority. They usually have it on their system and then send them to review after the application materials are fully received. But this would mean the results will be sent out in the priority bunch. This is what I think from my conversations over the last month with admissions teams in different programs.

Got accepted to Tulane for MS biostats! (1/24)
Funny detail: my application went under review on 1/23, and they sent me an email on the same day saying I was missing my transcript (which is literally impossible) and language requirement (which could be waived). Now on the next day they sent me the acceptance email o_O

I know rankings can be a little arbitrary, but could someone speak to why Yale is ranked "lower" than other schools? It is interesting to me because it seems like they have a lower acceptance rate... I know it is a great program, but I was wondering what the potential weaknesses are that makes other schools better on the ranks than Yale. Thank you!

I feel like I've read in this forum or forums of previous years that it has to do with alumni somehow. Since Yale has such a low acceptance rate and small class size compared to schools like Columbia and Emory, the rankings are skewed in that way? I think that is kind of why people consider the rankings arbitrary.

It's been a really good week for hearing back. Got accepted to Penn State and Drexel. I'm officially done with the cycle! Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back!

Mailman admissions replied "Your application is still under review. We anticipate decisions to be available some time in February." Well, I guess I will wait then.
